(1)
(productivity as in: labor productivity) how much goods or services are produced for each unit of input, such as each worker, hour, or machineIn business and economics, productivity usually measures how much output is produced per worker or per hour of work. Higher productivity means getting more done with the same time or resources, often because of better tools, training, or organization—not just working harder.
Rising productivity permits rising standards of living. For example, if real productivity increases 2% a year, the economy would create about 50% more output per hour after 20 years. - (2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
